Data confidence 85 high

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Sensitive information was always one of the big trade-offs we always exchange big secrets for small ones. On one hand, memorization of small secrets on the other hand tons of services requires a dedicated secret for each one. And when one of the services will be compromised it affects all services with the same password and credential. The main purpose of this article is to discuss multiple factors and increase security trade-offs differently. We will try to compare MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication), 2FA (Two Factor Authentication), 2SV (Two-Step Verification), and 1FA (One Factor Authentication) and investigate the password-free future.
